Does anyone know, for the people who don't live in the Boston area, is there a place online where someone can get the feed for the Bucks game?
WEEI?
I checked on that website but I didn't see anything.

Thanks for the link FL. I went to the website and checked out the schedule, and they seem to have a set schedule for the week. Do they still broadcast the games when they are on? Have you ever tried it?

I have tuned in to the games a few times when we had the other team's feed on LP so that I could get a Celtic point of view and they were being streamed. Last year, when they were on 1510 they weren't streamed online and if you wanted to hear them you had to subscribe to the audio LP feed on the NBA website but this year so far, every time I have tuned in on WRKO I have gotten the live feed. Hope that holds for today.

Well, Al and Perk played very well. Wally seems to be doing well although there were 2 turnovers because of him not knowing the offense. We started off shooting terrible and then picked it up. Too many turnovers in the first half. Doc should have had Al and Perk in at the end. It seems like he still doesn't want to play them together even after they showed that they are very effective together. We have no offense on our second unit. Danny needs to bring in a shooter for the bench. He can't play Wally and PP 42 MPG like he did Ricky so now the second unit seems very aimless with no one to lead them and it his hurting us.
Max and Sean seemed impressed with our defense for the most part. Maybe that is improving. We need to win tomorrow night in Minnesota. We have blown 2 chances to move up in the standings. We are onlly 5 games out of 1st in the division now and only a couple games out of the 8th seed but we just can't seem to be able to pick up any ground.
Another close heart breaking loss!!!

Sorry Celtics 17... It is hard to follow and keep up with what you can't see. Wasn't the best of games anyway so comfort yourself with that. Not like a game where Perk went off for 20 points and 20 rebounds or Wally hit for 80 or anything. Just another run of the mill close game loss.

Unfortunately, another loss. Not sure, reading the box score how the game was lost?

I got called into work and that pre-empted my opportunity to listen to Grande and Max, who do a nice job calling the games. We have a poor track record in Milwaukee so I am not surprised we lost. I just want a good feeling that progress is being made and I feel it is.

Unfortunately, another loss. Not sure, reading the box score how the game was lost? When the second team was in we couldn't score. They got ahead of us and we never did catch up. Pierce had an off game pretty much. In the 4th when Redd heated up Wally was on him much of the time and he burned him. But then Dock played Wally for 41 minutes after the couple days he has had with all the flights and physical and all. I sure hope Doc doesn't burn him out and play him into the ground like he did Ricky. Ricky was able to do it longer but was slowing down and Wally will just plain wear out. We shot 40% for the game and just couldn't make the shots when we needed them. Al and Perk were playing great but only had 25 and 23 minutes. They were in foul trouble but neither had fouled out and so Doc should have played them until they did but he went with Scal and Raef down the stretch and neither one were able to do the job. Scal was 2 for 6 from beyond the arc and insisted on jacking up 3s. he has been doing some good things on defense, but just has to stop thinking he is a long range scorer. Wally seemed to play well and had 20 points but there were 2 turnovers where he just missed passes because he was behind in a play. That will end when he has some time to practice and learn the offense. We desperately need a scorer off the bench. Our second unit just doesn't have anyone who can score. Tony just isn't playing well. He missed several layups and short jumpers. I don't know if his knee just isn't healed or if he has lost a step but his isn't near as explosive as he was.

Well, from listening to the radio feed, and watching ESPN gamecast, here are my observations:
We played great D. With the trade, our D has improved (so far) Wally and Pierce were giving Redd fits the whole night (mostly Wally). He had a terrible shooting night. Although Redd is more of a shooter, not a slasher, but Max said that Wally stayed with him and had a hand in his face almost every time. That is good to hear.
Wally also seemed to be fitting in well to the offense.
The thing I fear is that Wally will be playing 40 min/gm. Doc CANNOT do this. This guy will breakdown if he does that. He is NOT Ricky in that sense. I think 37, 38 is the mark for him. Doc cannot continue to do this.
I don't know if it was because Pierce needs to get used to the new style of play, or what but he struggled. Had an off night. Took too many rushed 3's of what I saw (or heard). Shot selection was poor. He passed the ball well.
Big Al had a good game (12 pts, 12 brds I think.)
Perk played decent.
Our bench struggled to score. Someone needs to step up next game. I really think that this will lead to Gerald $ coming back. The one thing that he is really good at is scoring the basketball. That is what we need for the second unit.
I do not think Flip Murray's 40% FG is a fit with this team.
T Allen had a bad game. He can't seem to score. Only off of putbacks, dunks (not even anymore). He is nowhere near as explosive as last year. Hopefully next year he can get back to where he was. I am starting to think if he does not get back to where he was, he may not be that valuable to us, or as valuable to us.
Tough loss, but hopefully the whole team can continue to work with and get used to Wally. I do think that Pierce and Wally can form a formidable wing duo though.
Next game, the other players need to step it up, and Pierce needs to let the game come to him a little more and just play more relaxed.

A few game thoughts after viewing the boxscores:
We had a solid rebounding game (49 boards tonight, vs. the Bucks' 40) . Overall, with Perk and Jefferson playing more than they used to, our rebounding has been much improved.
Jefferson put up another double double with 12 pts and 12 boards. What makes it truly impressive is that he put up a double double in only 16 minutes of playing time.
Delonte is in sort of a mini slump. He's not putting up his customary across-the-board stats, and his shooting, once again, was below 50%.
Wally had a good scoring night. He needed only 15 shots to score 20 pts (8 - 15 shooting).
Dwayne Jones' name appears on the boxscores. Does this mean that they've called him up to fill in the 12 active roster spot?
Had Perkins been out of foul trouble, he would have certainly pulled in a double double. But in 25 minutes, he was able to put up 8 pts and 9 boards. Nice to see our young twin towers being able to put up double doubles with enough playing time.

IMO 20 3 pointers is too much, especially when they are not falling. Scal shooting 6 3s in only 15 minutes? We need him to hustle and be a grinder out there, not imitate Walker. Raef was cold again, but at least pulled down 10 rebounds. He seems to be rebounding better lately.
Tough loss in a game that was very winnable.
